What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?
Need to press longer now for swapping watch faces, as though you wanted to edit the watch face
I REALLY like this change. I had a lot of accidental face changes. This will save me from that.
I love the widgets. I always used an ugly watch face because it supported a bunch of complications, and now I can use one of the nice analog ones and still have all of that information right at hand. Wish there was more third-party support for them but presumably that will come.
Agree with you that I miss swiping from face to face. I used that a lot. And it’s not like swiping horizontally does something else now.
All UI is scaled down. On the same watch screen it looks less readable.
Pro
- new watch face modular ultra. Lots of complications. I love seeing statues without having to interact.
- app overview. Much better in that new vertical layout than one large area.
Cons
- I have the feeling some apps take a second longer to load. But that might be just a feeling or dependant on initial startup.
- the weather app is totally bloated and with an awful usability. No UI indications for horizontal swipe nor tap gesture. Lots of animations and colors. Needs lots of exploration and time to understand. I mean: it’s the weather!
